[QUOTE="A6gal, post: 262253, member: 2034"] Have you tried draining it through the valve on the bottom of your hot water heater? You can hook up a waterhose to it and let it drain and refill several times. You might be surprised at what is flushed out. I used to have to drain and flush mine about 3 times a year because the hard water builds up deposits in the water heater and it begins to smell. That was before I installed a water softener and filter. Now I drain and flush about once a year. Another answer may be to remove the element???? (I don't think that is the name...what's that rod called??? ). Anyway it can be removed by unscrewing it from the top and then putting a cap where the element was. Although this will void any warranty on the hot water heater it will do away with the smell. [/QUOTE]
